Pros: Action, realism
Cons: Intense for young children (graphic violence)
Saving Private Ryan is a gut wrenching 3 hours of pure intensity. Surely worth bringing a box of two of Kleenex and perhaps your favorite therapist to your couch. The scenes of WWII are graphic, disturbing and oh so realistic. The intracacies and...

Pros: Tells the story how it is
Cons: can drag on a little
After seeing the movie Saving Private Ryan and then seeing it again after that about 3 or 4 more times, I have to say the movie gets better every time. The movie just seems so real and the way it was produced and directed just made the movie...

Pros: Realism, scenery ,acting ,story,sound
Cons: too gory for small children
This is a picture that only comes along every 20 years. The sight, sounds, story, realism and acting are all five stars. This is as close as you can come to serving in the armed forces in battle and not risk your life. In the movies or with a surround...

Pros: Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, an incredible film...what else do you need?
Cons: It did not win Best Picture
Saving Private Ryan, though a fictional account of World War II is VERY real. Never before has such a blunt war film hit me over the head and make me realize so many things. War is not glorious, nor is it something to smile about...War is hell and...

Pros: Thought provoking, Excellent in every way
Cons: Not for little kids
Movies come and movies go, but when one lingers on in the back of your mind, like a weight on your conscience, begging you to make a change in your life while you still have a chance, there's something special about it. When a movie has such a profound...

Pros: Great Story, Acting, Directing
Cons: You Have to See it on the Small Screen
During the 1998 Academy Awards one of the greatest travisties in the history of Hollywood ocured. Titanic won the Best Picture Oscar. How a respected and educated group of people could think that that three hour snore-a-thon was a better movie then...

Pros: all ready covered
Cons: EXTREMELY graphic for those who can't handle it
It was a fantastic movie, great story, and wonderful job on realism.
But it did something to me, I have all ways had respect for vets, but to watch and see that day in such graphic detail, really gives me greater understanding of the...

Pros: Images, Theme, Performances, Realism
Cons: Script, Plot Holes
When I first saw the trailer for this film, and especially that image of the waving American flag, transparent in front of the sun, I believed this film would quickly become one of my favorites. I mean, look at the lineup! Spielberg, Hanks, and a...

Pros: Everything about it
Cons: Not for young kids
I know that by now most of you have seen this movie but I am writing this for all the people that think it is just some kind of war movie. Well it is about WWII but it is also about the lives and the minds of the young men that were sent to fight the...

Pros: Astonishing portrayal of historical events
Cons: not for the weak stomached
I'm sorry, Katerinab, but I just cannot recommend your opinion. You stated yourself that you only viewed 20 minutes of the movie. This hardly makes you an authority on the picture. This movie was not supposed to be entertaining, it was supposed to be...

Pros: War, blood, action!
Cons: None that I see, a very ground breaking movie.
I was looking forward to seeing this movie very much. The rave reviews only heightened my anticipation. Let me start at the beginning...
If you can survive the first 20 minutes then you'll be okay. Yes the opening is very graphic and very...

Pros: Vivid, stunning, horrifying special effects...
Cons: ...ruined by the rest of the film.
I know that I’ll probably be branded as a communist for saying this, and worse, as an American heretic, but here goes: “Saving Private Ryan” is not a good movie.
I can understand the hubbub around the spectacular special effects – Star Wars...

Pros: Tom hanks
Cons: nuttin
Saving Private Ryan revolves around an infantry squad in W.W. II whose goal is to save a young private who lost all of his brothers and now has a ticket home.
Let me start off by saying that I think Spielberg did a good job of adding a...
